SAN ANTONIO — Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins spent most of his time at the podium accentuating the positives after his team's 93-89 overtime loss against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

"I can be comfortable with the team," Hollins said Tuesday night. "We lost. We're down 0-2, but we played like us again."

Yes, the Griz got down and dirty. They were the scrappier squad in the fourth quarter and forced an extra session with stifling defense and clutch baskets. Both teams were tired at the end but the Spurs — particularly Tim Duncan — found the necessary extra gear.

The best-of-seven series shifts to FedExForum for Games 3 and 4, starting Saturday night.

Memphis is in a familiar place this postseason, having fallen behind 0-2 in the first round before beating the Los Angeles Clippers.

Can the Griz overcome such great adversity again?

Just last year, San Antonio took a 2-0 lead in the West finals against to the Oklahoma City Thunder but lost.

Will the Spurs falter again or finish the job?

There will be tons of questions to ponder about the Griz-Spurs matchup during a three-day layoff. Let's start with these:

Is the series over, given NBA history says teams that take a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven series go on to win 93.7 percent of the time or does a series not start until the home team loses?

The Griz came back from a 0-2 deficit against the Clippers in the first round, but aren't the Spurs a different animal?

Aren't the Spurs less likely to implode than this year's version of the Clippers?

Does Spurs floor general Tony Parker have yet another gear, after he dominated the first two games even with a left calf injury?

What will the Griz do to stop Parker from getting wherever he wants on the floor and limit the Spurs' drive-and-kicks?

Will the Grizzlies' need to score more at the start of games mean Hollins must substitute Tayshaun Prince and Tony Allen in favor of Quincy Pondexter and Jerryd Bayless earlier than normal?

Speaking of Prince, is he still suffering from a hip injury suffered in the West semifinals or is the youth and athleticism of the Spurs' wing players causing him problems?

Will Hollins consider changing his starting lineup by inserting Pondexter for Prince?

Is playing at a faster pace the key to unlocking a Grizzlies offense that has labored to produce points?

Can the Griz compete in the series if Zach Randolph continues to be ineffective around the basket?

Can the Griz live with the Spurs sagging off Allen and Prince to clog the paint, especially when Randolph is on the floor?

Even though Marc Gasol is playing exceptional defense, don't the Griz need their deft center to make more plays on offense?

Anybody seen Darrell Arthur?

Will the Griz give longer, sustained defensive efforts?

With four 30-point quarters in the series, is the Spurs offense really too versatile for the Grizzlies to contain?

What are the chances of the Griz again going through stretches where they miss 14 straight shots like they did before halftime in Game 2?

What are the chances that the Griz again miss seven straight shots from point-blank range on one possession like they did in Game 2?

What do the Griz do to solve Tim Duncan's interior defense when they shot 4 of 24 from within five feet when Duncan was on the floor compared with 9 of 14 when Duncan was on the bench in Game 2?

Don't the Spurs have to be happy with their 23-10 edge in 3-pointers, and the quality of long-distance shots they continue to get?

What's more of an aberration — the Grizzlies' Game 1 blowout loss or the Spurs' Game 2 fourth-quarter collapse?
